(-2,-1)(2,1)

Explanation:

"the equation of a parabola in "color(blue)"vertex form"the equation of a parabola in vertex form is.

color(red)bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(y=a(x-h)^2+k)color(white)(2/2)|))
where (h , k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a constant.

f(x)=-(x+2)^2-1" is in this form"

"with " h=-2" and " k=-1

rArrcolor(magenta)"vertex "=(-2,-1)
graph{-(x+2)^2-1 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
